Installing and Running the Java version

Download the Java version at [15]. Once downloaded, follow these instructions to get BRITE up and running. Please note that you must have Java 2 (JDK1.3) installed in order to do so.

1. Unzip the downloaded file:

   $ gunzip BRITE_JAVA.tar.gz
   $ tar xvf BRITE_JAVA.tar
   

2. Directory structure of Java version

   The contents of the directory where the Java version is untarred is shown in Table 7.

   
   

   Table 7: Contents of Java version's directory

   Directory/File	Contents
   Model/	Model-related source files
   Graph/	Graph-related source files
   Import/	Import file formats
   Export/	Export file formats
   ../GUI/	GUI source files
   Util/	Miscellaneous utility functions
   Main/	Entry point
   conf_files/	Sample configuration files
   Makefile	Makefile

   
   

3. Change to the directory created when the Java distribution file is untarred. Assuming it is called BRITE, we change to that directory and compile:

   $ cd BRITE
   $ make java
   

4. Running BRITE from the GUI:

   $ startGUI
   

5. Running BRITE from the command line (No Java required):

   $ cd Java
   $ java Main.BRITE <config_file.conf>  <output_file>  <optional_seedfile>
